Overview
Gusto is the payroll, benefits, and HR platform trusted by over 300,000 small businesses across the US.

Why connect Campfire + Gusto
Payroll entries without the manual work
Every Gusto payroll run syncs to Campfire via Finch and creates a fully coded journal entry automatically. Wages, taxes, benefits, and deductions are mapped to your chart of accounts without any manual data entry.
Close payroll the same day you run it
Campfire creates and books the payroll journal entry the moment Gusto processes the run. Your books reflect payroll immediately — no waiting, no reformatting exports, no manual entry.
Always-accurate payroll accruals
Between payroll runs, Campfire accrues payroll expenses automatically based on your Gusto schedule. Your P&L reflects true accrual-basis payroll expense every day, not just on payroll dates.
How It Works
- Gusto payroll data — wages, taxes, benefits, and deductions — is captured via Finch and sent to Campfire automatically on each payroll run.
- Campfire maps the payroll data to your chart of accounts, creates the journal entry, and applies department coding based on your employee setup.
- Your finance team reviews the auto-generated payroll entry in Campfire and approves it — the whole process takes under five minutes.
